The home side continued a decent recent run of form by beating Monaco on penalty kicks in the French Cup last time out. The win means that Antoine Kombouare’s team are now unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions.
The home team are also three matches undefeated in the French top-flight, recording two wins and a draw. A goalless draw at Metz last time out ended a short two-game winning run for Nantes in the French top-flight.
Nantes have been strong on home soil of late in the French top-flight, as they are unbeaten in five home games, having recorded four wins in the process.
The key factor in that recent good home form has been their attacking threat, as Nantes have scored at least two goals in seven of their previous ten home games in the French top-flight.
Montpellier will still believe they have a chance of making Ligue One’s top-five this season. However, the visitors are currently in 11th place in the table and six points adrift of the European spots.
A recent poor run of league form has made the visitors big outsiders for a top-five finish and European football next season. A 4-2 home defeat by Rennes last time out means that Montpellier have now lost three of their last four Ligue One matches.
The visitor’s recent away record has been the definition of inconsistent, as they have won three and lost three of their last six matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Nantes will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their chances of playing European football next season.
